Well worth a read from start to finish. No one has pushed a K04 this far since :sad1:

Does niki recommend this though? When the average joe comes in with similar spec he doesnt push the turbo that far on a regular basis and send them home kickin the ass out of a k04.. From what i recall the owner was was just testing the limits?
GrayMK5GTI:
Nah it really isn't recommended, it will probably shorten the life of the turbo (although I'm no expert here). It's a really peaky curve for the power and all that power comes in quite early in the rev range. A K04 hybrid would give a much better curve.
I've been a passenger in this car and it really is MENTAL :laugh:
James wanted all out crazy power, and that is exactly what he got. Niki spent 3 days and 2 tanks of fuel getting this right on the dyno.
At JKM dyno day it made more power than a BT setup and nearly pulled itself out of the dyno :scared:
Niki wouldn't send any average joe with this level of power, unless they understood what they were letting themselves in for (like James) it's a real specialist setup.
Would love to see what Niki could do with yours Pikey :drool: his new VVT mapping would help to spool that turbo earlier for starters :notworthy:
